Search for a light pseudo--scalar Higgs boson produced in association with bottom quarks in pp collisions at 8~\mathrm{TeV}
We report on the search for a light pseudo--scalar Higgs boson produced in association with a bottom quark and decaying into dimuons. The search makes use of 19.8~\mathrm{fb}^{-1} of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8~\mathrm{TeV}, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. No signal is observed in the search for a pseudo--scalar Higgs boson and upper limits on the cross section times branching fraction are set.
